Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond Rye Whisky is not only an excellent spirit, but also remarkable value. Named "North American Whiskey of the Year" at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, it was awarded a double gold medal by all judges in a blind tasting and then beat every other gold medal winner.
